Hasn’t Clark been the leading scorer on the team in most of her games?
The coach was ordered to take down Caitlin ‘cuz she’s not a racist black and homosexual pervert
I’m not understanding why this coach isn’t utilizing Clark’s phenomenal talents.
White privilege? Black envy? I think this coach should be fired but the whole damned sports organizations are WOKE!
Ego. Massive ego. Coach is the boss. Caitlin needs to learn her place in the hierarchy.
Jim Hoft’s hysteria about Caitlin Clark’s slow start in the WNBA is unfortunately quite typical for him. He’s not a reliable source for opinion and news about anything.
The left only knows how to tear things down.
It’s a team sport. And the team stinks. The big difference between college and pros is good college teams have an advantage recruiting good college players, in the pros bad teams get first pick. There’s only so much one player can do. Plus of course teams need to gel. Everybody is doing the best they can. No need hand wringing.
It does not matter if Clark is on the floor or not on the floor, the Fever are one of the worst teams in the WNBA.
They lost to Vegas by 19 points.
In coaching, when you are getting stomped into the ground by the other team, you protect your most valuable players.
No former male athletes that identify as women, vying for the WNBA jobs? How odd?
When OJ was drafted by Buffalo Bills, the coach tried to make him a receiver. OJ had a terrible start in the NFL. After the coach was fired, the succeeding coach let OJ be OJ. The rest is history.
A straight white player will NOT be allowed to show up the other players.
I suspect the coach has been given her orders
News flash, nobody gives a shit about the WNBA
WOW!!
Next, those same people will expect that Joe Biden can ride a bicycle, and that the speed train in California will actually take you from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back again.
Clark’s performance evaluation in college is not on the same scale as in the pros. The pros are a different game and selling something different for the seats. But the writer of the article is not being totally up front with Clark’s performance.
Indiana has some problems other than Clark’s work. Clark leads the team in minutes, scoring, defensive rebounds, assists, and foul shooting percentage. But she is getting ball as she also leads them in turn overs, personal fouls, and has a mid range percentage for 3-point shots.

So she is performing at about the best level at this point in her career and is assisting the team into getting into the action. And that’s where teams excell.
Jordan was mentioned by a poster and by using him makes a point about the NBA and pro basketball that some haven’t seen here. Jordan entered the NBA in 1984 but the bulls didn’t win a title with him until 1991. And Jordan wasn’t all that was there for that title. In the final game Jordan scored 30 points. But Scottie Pippen had 32 and John Paxson 20. So it was 7 years in the league before the “team” could utilize Jordan to success and help from others.
Takes time. But with the woke actions of the teams and the lack of “power” basketball the fans want to see going to sustain the league long enough to get that production?
Womens’ basketball at the pro level has failed many times in the US. And the current WNBA is losing money. It all has to get down to the dollar. They’re selling out wherever she goes. But one person doesn’t make a team. And when the “show” gets through the league a few times she won’t draw tourists.

It really doesn't make sense, does it?
Her coaching salary is $500K per year with bonuses based on the team performance.
I'm thinking she's being paid to lose. It wouldn't be the first time a professional coach was offered money to lose games, especially now with the proliferation of all these gambling websites and shady bookmakers.
I’m happy that women have the opportunity to make a living playing professional basketball. Their worldviews do not affect me at all. Their sexuality does not affect me.
Just don’t expect me to tune in and watch. I’d rather watch good players.
The coach needs to show the pretty white straight girl who is top dyke boss.
“ Question: How do you take the greatest scorer in college history, men or women, and destroy her confidence and career in seven games or less? And how do you also manage to bring down an entire professional sports league at the same time?”
Nonsensical heavy breathing hysteria.
She’s probably not over her ankle injury.
IMHO Clark should have gone straight into coaching College Basketball and controlled her own destiny. She has made enough money to do whatever she wants and does not need this nonsense.
